Something to lighten the mood

And if it still doesn't work in the playground, try going on a field trip.

Yes, I thought that was a good one too.

I am reading a Physics book called "About Time" by Paul Davis. Space, Time, Quantum Mechanics, The Big Bang and all the other usual suspects.

I couldn't make head nor tail of the "Psychic Photons"....

Nor did the previous reader of this library book judging from the page marker tab. The diagram is upside down!

Aha, I have fixed it in software with my paint program!

Still don't understand it. 🙁
 
I was enlightened with a new word today and intcame from the Nurburgring auto track. It was titled crash avoision.
Whether it ever gets accepted mainstream or not, matters not. I have already given it a slot in my dictionary. We need more individuals driving too fast for their own good to come up with these sorts of things.

Saturday morning:
Sure honey, I'll have it together by noon. I mean how hard can it be to assemble an exercise machine? - he asked before opening the box.

Now: Honey what day is this?
Has the boss called again? Tell him I'm still sick.
Sure hon, I'll be done before dinner, I promise.

Note to self: Nope, no time for a note to self. Back at 'er. I'm getting more exercise assembling it then I ever will using it.

This is not easy for everybody, we all are more skilled at some things than other things.
Tell a lady doctor to change a car tire, for example.
No offense intended.

Typical British drawing, part numbers, so a table has to be looked at.
German and Japanese drawings have the part described where the numbers are in this one, like the fasteners and so on.

They could have provided progressive pictures of the recommended assembly procedure to make things easier to understand, and do.

What happens if it fails due to wrong assembly or loose fasteners?
Do they provide spanners etc. as assembly tools?
The legal disclaimer would be interesting to read....

Honestly Naresh, you really ought to stop and wonder about things before hitting Post Reply. I have posted the one exploded view from the front of the booklet and you have gone off on some tangent, of which you have zero knowledge and preached about they way they should have done it.

Know what? They did everything as you have mentioned (and more) except that they couldn't post it all on one page as there wasn't the room. You would have known that simply by looking at the page. I am going to show you what the next three pages looked like so you don't have to make this same mistake. That first picture was posted for its humour, nothing more, yet you felt the need to dissect it for some unknown reason.

You'll note that not only are the steps categorized chronologically, there is zero redundancy and plenty of assembly hints as you go. It's very well done. It also took only 4.5 hours to do, the first one of which was unpacking and sorting the components. It went slowly in some cases as I was flying solo and really ought to have enlisted someone to help.

The unit and manual are done ergonomically as the only tools required were the two Allan keys provided and a combo wrench and screwdriver that I supplied. You don't require cordless tools to do this. You don't actually have to speak English, French or Spanish (languages provided) as with the step by step exploded views, and get this, actual size diagrams for the fasteners.

Anyway, rant hat off for now. Please check the title of the thread before posting next time.

A man had just gotten off work and was waiting for the elevator to go home.

The door opens, and there’s a blonde with a huge smile on her face. “T.G.I.F.” she said to the guy.

He looks at her, shakes his head. “S. H. I. T” he replies

The blonde looks at him, somewhat shocked. “T. G. I. F.” she says again, adding “Thank Goodness it’s Friday!”

The man looks at her again, scowling a little this time. “S. H. I. T.” he replies once more. “Sorry honey, it’s Thursday!”
